Question

4y-2(y-5)=-2 please help

Answer 1

Solution for 4y=2(y-5)-2 equation:


Simplifying 4y = 2(y + -5) + -2 Reorder the terms: 4y = 2(-5 + y) + -2 4y = (-5 * 2 + y * 2) + -2 4y = (-10 + 2y) + -2 Reorder the terms: 4y = -10 + -2 + 2y Combine like terms: -10 + -2 = -12 4y = -12 + 2y Solving 4y = -12 + 2y Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2y' to each side of the equation. 4y + -2y = -12 + 2y + -2y Combine like terms: 4y + -2y = 2y 2y = -12 + 2y + -2y Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0 2y = -12 + 0 2y = -12 Divide each side by '2'. y = -6 Simplifying y = -6
